ahaha, who in their right mind would turn down a maxxboxx?. I've always had a special place in my heart for one. If it ever gets filled, I guess we'll find out. If anyone here has …

I have an 81/110 Radius unit and it is built like a tank (and has a normal mac video connection unlike the 8100).

My 200 MHz Motorola StarMax 4000 MT was great. Very clean design (even if it did look like a PC), something I've always liked in a case. Also, it was pretty well upgradeable, eve…

I use my quicksilver with EyeTv as a PVR. Occasionally I import a tv show into iMovie and burn it to a DVD for someone. Wayne
